You don't think black panther "address(ed) the issues"? Did you miss all of Michael B. Jordan's character's motivation? Or did you just not even watch the movie?

It'd be a damn shame if everyone started putting pixelfed at the end of every message to both deny threads content and create a Streisand effect.

I edited the links to try to get more apples to apples. For the PPI just deselect the blue line and compare red lines between the two. Those should give 12 month change numbers for all goods and services unless I screwed it up.

Edit: I edited the links again, I accidentally used final demand instead of intermediate demand for PPI. No need to deselect anything now. I linked the chart for processed goods, other categories are available in the drop-down list.

If you want to know how bad we're being fucked, search for the PPI, the producer price index. CPI, the one we always hear about, is the measure of inflation to us, the consumer. The PPI is the measure of inflation to producers, what they pay for goods and services to produce the goods and services we buy.

The PPI has been back to "normal" for a while now. Pretty much as soon as the post COVID logistics issues were mostly ironed out. The difference between PPI and CPI changes is almost all profit.

We don't get daily articles on the PPI though, I wonder why.

Tell people about PPI whenever you can, online or off, the more people know, the better. It's easy enough to say inflation is just down to greed but being able to back it up by comparing two simple charts will help people really understand.

Thanks for the info. Looks like I've got some work to do.

You can go here to get a copy of your report.

If you're in California you can limit their collection and dissemination in the future and have your data deleted.

If you dig into your car's infotainment system to opt out of everything you can find, don't forget any app you might have installed.

Damn straight, don't forget our ancient enemies.

Fucker trying to trick us into learning shit by making it taboo.

The part where he "gets to keep more of it."

$1 in charitable contributions does not lower your tax burden by $1, and certainly not more than $1.

If that dollar would have been taxed as capital gains, assuming 20% capital gains and 3.8% NII tax, it saves 23.8 cents meaning the $1 donation costs 76.2 cents.

If that dollar would have been taxed as normal income, assuming a marginal tax rate of 37%, it saves 37 cents meaning the $1 donation costs 63 cents.

(These two examples are not intended to be an exhaustive list.)

Charitable contributions cost money, just not as much money as they would if there wasn't a tax deduction.

The number of people who don't understand the difference between a tax deduction and a tax credit is too damn high.

I'm my opinion, a lot of the best stuff in the eu has been stories that are light on the space wizardry.

Then he did The Pentagon Wars, an HBO movie back when HBO still made good stuff. It's a true story and I saw an interview with the military guy he was playing. Dude said something like: "I checked out the guy who was playing me and in two previous movies he wore tights."

If you haven't seen it, you should. It's a fucking hilarious comedy of errors about the defense procurement process and design by committee.

I watched the miniseries then the show, and there was some additional stuff I watched also but I don't remember exactly when. There was a spinoff called Caprica, it was good but never got a second season.

Here is a watch order that includes a couple movies and webseries, but it puts Caprica at the beginning. It is a prequel but I think it would be better watching it after everything else like it was released.

Edit: if I remember correctly Caprica either has some serious spoilers or there are some things you wouldn't understand if you hadn't seen the main show, I don't want to say anything more but I don't know why they recommend it first.

Same here, I think I started it during the lack of new content after the 07-08 writers strike. I thought it would be a mid sci-fi show I would put on for background then it turned out to be awesome.

I think all his delegates would become unbound and there could be a floor fight at the convention if someone steps up to challenge Haley.

Spices x 2. They'd probably be hard to unload without getting robbed, but then you could buy a nice farm.

Everything else would be useless after a short time at best and get you burned as a witch at worst.

Often shortened to deck. Sounds similar enough to dick that you can just say dick and no one notices. You get to go around taking about showing people your dick all the time then giggle about it.

I see the double spaces but it seems like a lot of formatting doesn't work on jerboa.

Dafuq? I've been reading her name as Leticia all this time. It's like when I found out, after years of reading the name, the the CEO of ULA is named Tory Bruno, not Tony.

Convert them to condos, like they did with all the warehouses when supply chains transitioned to just-in-time. Two birds, one stone.
